The "OH MY GOD MY TEAM WENT FULL RETARD %@$%#^$@!" Megathread

[dzajic]

Loosely paraphrased from an awesome pub match: "Sure, we could go back and defend but we'd probably die and then have an expensive repair bill on top of a loss. It's better to lose this way." Fucking faggots, in French lights no less. Someone please tell me why it is that I get on teams where I'm the only player above 50%, yet I always seem to die first because I'm the only one fighting and not cupping onto my balls for dear life.

I can't say I'm fully with you on that. I remember playing mid tier tanks without premium (so, long time before wondrous Economy 2.0) and at Tier 6 and Tier 7 you could start to lose money on victory if you shot a lot of shells an used up all consumables. Trying to actually earn money called for avoiding damage. If you lose and get 3-5k... its meh but still positive. If you tried to salvage the game and sacrificed yourself you still lose the match and end up being 5-7k negative. I remember uberawesome wins with VK36 that got 30k creds (without premium that is a ubergood game) but I got fully killed, and used up all consumables so I end with just couple thousand income. And it all became much worse with Econ2.

We will see more camping and people running away and trying to hide once the match is obviously lost once people realize just how bad Econ 2 is.

You are actually thinking about cash while fighting?

[dzajic]

When you play without premium you HAVE TO think about cash. Its very sad and yes it completely ruins the fun of playing ant Tier 7 (and some Tier 6) and above tanks.

Its kinda gay but you have to now.

If you want something done you gotta' do it yourself, apparently.

463 Average Experience per Battle (Keep in mind, he plays mostly high tiers)

Had a match with this pearl of wisdom on Fishing Bay. He took his Maus to where the arty was located (who of course when to the obvious arty spot in the north. In that ravine in the North West) and parked his Maus there. With the arty. In the ravine.

Fast forward, and a lone Patton comes through (whom I took from full HP down to 300hp solo in my Type 59, by keeping him tracked at the top of a hill and him unable to hit me before his buddy came along to help him kill me) and scouts them out. The Maus misses all of his shots on the Patton, and an arty manages to TD him, and immediately catches an arty shell in the face. Our last arty, a GWE sitting in the same area meanwhile completely ignored the Patton and incoming arty shells and keeps focused on the city fight. Thus far, he has only fired 1 round into the fight, and it was a miss. Everyone that is dead is yelling in chat to the GWE to move his ass. No reply. An arty shell lands about 20s later and kills him. Everyone starts to laugh at him, and he claims that he chose to ignore the Patton to do more important work in the city. So important that he refused to move even. Well, good for him. He won an arty shell for his birthday.

Now the only thing left standing is the Maus, as the city team has died and the enemy comes rolling in with 2 IS-7's, an IS-4, and a few lower tiers like KT's and IS'. Like the Great White Shark, the Maus makes his move with stealthy efficiency and fierce determination. At least until he realized that climbing the hill to overlook the base was too much effort for him. The enemy tanks just would peek above the top of the crest, pop a shot into him, then back off. And the arty did their messy work.

And in the background, I was spamming chat telling him what a retard he was and how he could have gone AFK and would have been better.



Kids, this is why buying your way into higher tier tanks is a bad thing.

I've seen like one good Maus driver in the whole time i've played this game. They're nearly always incredibly bad.

[Gorrm]

Note to self: Even when your team outnumbers the remaining enemy tanks 2 to 1 and it seems like a sure win, don't make the push to mop up as other players are still retarded, (supposedly) overwhelming advantage or not.

It does seem like a tough tank to play. I faced one in my Tiger P recently on Ruinberg. I don't think the driver was bad, but the rest of his team evaporated around him. In the end, it was me, an IS-3, and a couple T34s trying like mad to take his ass down. I was firing HE, then AP when I ran out, at his turret ring (the little seam between turret and hull) as he killed us off one by one. Luckily, we managed to take him down before he mauled all of us. I didn't get the kill shot, though.

[Al Simmons]

Oh yeah, it's definitely a hard tank to play. I don't really get why anyone would use it over an E-100 at this point though.

[dpidcoe]

Lost 6 games in a row driving my grille. Every one of them involved me spending the first few minutes of the match dueling it out with a light or fast medium that my team ignored. In the two games in which I survived the encounter, I had to keep moving constantly to avoid counter battery since the enemy arty knew my general location from the previous scout.

Very annoying.

[Corwyna]

We won, no thanks to this guy. He never left base and I don't think he shot anything. Long 88 on E-75 is so pro.

[High Sierra]

I just got reported....

apparently telling someone that I was going to find them if they didnt win was so upsetting that they reported me AND convo'd me after telling me that they hope I get a ban......

uh huh..... whatever.....

[Tordin Varglund]

Oh yeah, it's definitely a hard tank to play. I don't really get why anyone would use it over an E-100 at this point though.

Because the E-100 is paper thin and has one of the most under powered guns in the entire game. Its the embodiment of shit. There is nothing good about it.

Your resolution is saddening.

But it can move at more than the 0 km/h of the Maus. Also I thought the E-100 had a better gun than the Maus?

[dzajic]

E100 has much more alpha and... that's it. Accuracy is bad, aim time is bad, non gold penetration is 235; 330 with gold is still via HEAT so it (gold) can bounce on IS-7 from any angle you can think of. Tank is big huge large so IS-7 can shoot into your lower plate from below, for some nice engine damage and fires. IS-7 can pen your turret near reliably from the front, without gold ofc.
